IG banned me over my ex's retracted claim on a dog photo. Human review?

My Instagram account was disabled after my spouse (we are parting ways) filed a copyright claim over a 6-year-old photo of my dog.

I have since spoken with him, and he has formally retracted the claim through Meta's official channels. Despite this, my account remains disabled. Every appeal I submit is lost in an automated loop.

The problem has escalated beyond the initial account. It appears my identity is now permanently flagged. Any new account I create—regardless of the email, device, or network—is automatically disabled within minutes. The enforcement action is “stuck,” persisting even though its justification has been nullified by the claimant's retraction.

I understand actions like this one are born out of pain. However, this impulsiveness has severed my only connection to family members I'd just reconnected with after more than a decade. I rejoined Instagram for this very reason, and now I'm locked out during an already difficult time.

I'm looking for a way to escalate this to a human for a manual review. Has anyone found a successful path (e.g., Attorney General complaints, privacy requests, specific contacts) to get Meta to re-evaluate a ban when their automated correction process has clearly failed?
